YOU DO NOT NEED A MUSICAL BACKGROUND TO HELP YOU CHILD IN BAND!

Many students find using a practice log helpful.

What your child needs from you is not musical expertise, but patience, encouragement, and support.

IF NOTHING ELSE:
Make it a daily goal to take the instrument out of the case and put it together. This is the hardest part about practicing at home. Once it’s out, chances are it’ll get played. Make it a routine, i.e. come home from school, have a snack, take out the instrument, do homework, play the instrument, do more homework, etc…

Below is a list of various resources you can use to help your child learn to play a musical instrument.
